i've been pretty productive so far this summer. finished a couple books. first, atonement by ian mcewan. i didn't like it at all. i really wanted to like it because i thought the movie looked really good. but the book wasn't great. the writing was very arrogant which made it hard for me to read. did anyone see the movie and enjoy it? i also finished love walked in by marisa de los santos. some times it really irritated me, but i loved how it ended. so i give it my approval and thought it was pretty cute. i added my favorite quote to the sidebar.
i've also been working on some scrapbook projects. here's a few pictures from my this is me journal-
and a few pictures from our best two years album. (when mike saw the cover, he was stoked because he thought it was about his mission. i had to remind him that his best two years have been the two years we've been MARRIED.)

I LOVE your scrapbook/journal thing! It's so . . . inspiring? (That just sounds so awkward . . .).
I understand you with the self confidence. It's something I've always struggled with, and the most when I was in an abusive relationship and when I was a new mother--two totally different things, I know! Both times, I found myself doubting ANYTHING I was able to do and found myself so dragged down that I was crying nearly every day. It was so hard. But the thing that has helped me find confidence is making sure I accomplish hard things. Running was one of them. I never thought I'd reach my goal of 6 mph for 30 minutes on the treadmill, and suddenly, I'm going 6.2, 6.3 for 35 minutes! Pushing myself has been a major confidence boost.
I know people can look at you and say, "You have no reason to lack in self-confidence." Well, you know what? ANYONE can lack in that field! People look at me and say the same thing: "You have a wonderful husband, a beautiful baby boy, a job, a nice house, and you're beautiful. You should have all the confidence in the world!"
But it's so hard for them to understand.
I hear for you. We all struggle with different things, and for girls like you and me, it's confidence. We don't NEED to have a hard time with this, however; it's just going to take a little more effort to work ourselves out of this pit.
Sorry to ramble--it's something I've found myself thinking about a lot! Thanks for sharing the quote!
I love the new look of your blog! And I'm so impressed with you scrapbook! You are so creative!
I need to go scrapbooking with you! Then I will get lots of new ideas from you and have really cute pages.
Carly...you are so very creative!!! I love the scrapbook, it gives me inspiration to finish my boys, I am so behind, it's sad! I loved reading the tv shows then, Full House, Save By the Bell...ahh memories! Very cute!
Carly, you are talented! I love the scrapbooking stuff. It is so dang cute! It must have taken you forever.
I have a hard time believing that you lack self confidence. As far as school was concerned, you were always at the top of the class with what seemed like very little effort.
You're amazing. I'm glad to know you.
Hmmmm...the whole Mr. Wood saga, well, you already know how I feel about that. It's crap.
Love your new look, by the way. It's very you. And your "This is me journal" is coming along VERY nicely. When is July scrapbook day?? I miss you!
I love how your "this is me" journal turned out. Its super cute as well as all the other projects that you have finished. Your "best two years" is simply amazing! You are so very creative and talented.
I love scrapbooking with you because I find myself thinking of cute ideas.
As with the self confidence thing...meh! I never could see you struggling with anything of the sort. Your awesome Car! :)
Really- you are so talented! I love all of your scrapbook pages. They are so creative. I am also loving the new look of your blog.
You're scrapbooks are way cute! I wish I was creative like that. I've only done one scrapbook in my life and i'm proud of it but it looks nowhere near as good as yours! Hope things are going well with you guys!
Carly, I love you so much! I have such amazing memories of you at girls camp being my "breast friend!" You are so creative and talented, you need to teach me how to scrapbook!
